The sentences in many places are too difficult to read, so I have to translate them
Chapter 1
It tells the historical reasons why Europeans embarked on nautical exploration. The Western world received a large amount of goods from trade with the East, and the quality of life was greatly improved. However, the fanatical movement of Turkish pagans blocked the trade chain, resulting in a significant increase in commodity prices and a greatly increased demand for gold. This led European adventurers to open a sea route to seek wealth.
Chapter 4
In the process of searching for India and China, the adventurers experienced repeated failures, and finally turned to slavery, oppression and persecution of the local indigenous people. However, so far, America is still a land of little value in the eyes of these invaders.
Chapter 2
It tells the story of Columbus's discovery of the American continent. It introduces Columbus's family background, the accumulation of European navigation knowledge, and the progress of navigation technology, which all contributed to the success of Columbus's great cause.
